Call for abstracts
The FilMat network originates from two interconnected needs: to establish and foster exchanges between Italian scholars working in the philosophy of mathematics and strictly related fields, either in Italy or abroad, with special attention to those at early stages of their careers; and to support the relationships between the Italian community and international scholars. The network is now promoting its second international conference, after the first FilMat conference in 2014 at the San Raffaele University in Milan, and the inaugural conference at the Scuola Normale in Pisa in 2012.

We expect to host up to 16 contributed talks by speakers of any nationalities by double-blind review. Submissions of original contributions are invited in any area of philosophy of mathematics connected with the issues of truth, existence, and explanation, including, though not limited to, realism vs anti-realism, inflationary vs deflationary accounts of incompleteness, mathematical fictionalism, structuralism, the nature and role of axioms, constructive existence, generality, the explanatory role of mathematics, the philosophica relevance of mathematical explanation, mathematical depth. Submissions by young scholars are especially welcome.

Abstracts must be written in English, and have a *maximum length of 1500 words (references included)*, and should be prepared for blind-review, with all identifying details (name, affiliation, email and abstract title) in a separate file. Submissions should be sent in .pdf format. Abstracts for contributed papers should be emailed to conference@filmatnetwork.com; deadline for submission is February 19, 2016.

The conference will be entirely held in English.
